This DOHC, intercooled turbo powerhouse delivers a smooth 260HP, providing the confidence needed when merging onto the expressway or navigating the rolling plains surrounding the local area. The 8-speed Lineartronic CVT with Lock-up transmission and Overdrive ensures that power is delivered efficiently, achieving an estimated 19 city / 25 hwy MPG.

Subaru is synonymous with capability, and this Ascent features Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive for unwavering traction. When the winter weather turns the streets of Des Plaines, IL into a snowy challenge, the X-MODE driver selectable drivetrain mode and Active Torque Vectoring provide the stability you need to keep your family moving safely. The mechanical foundation is built for comfort, utilizing an Independent front suspension with struts and a Double wishbone rear suspension, ensuring that even when the pavement gets rough, the ride remains composed. With Smart key with hands-free access and push button start, your journey begins the moment you approach the vehicle, making it the perfect partner for a busy commuter or a weekend explorer.

Technology & Connectivity

The interior of the Ascent Touring is a high-tech sanctuary, anchored by a stunning 11.6 inch primary display. This intuitive touchscreen serves as the hub for the Integrated navigation system with voice activation, making it simple to find your way to a new shop in the neighborhood or a distant vacation spot. With STARLINK/Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smart device wireless mirroring, your favorite playlists and essential apps are always at your fingertips.

Communication within the cabin is effortless thanks to the Cabin Connect intercom, allowing the driver to speak clearly to passengers in the third row without raising their voice. Passengers will appreciate the 6 USB ports spread throughout the cabin, ensuring everyone's devices stay charged during long trips. For the audiophile, the Harman/Kardon speakers powered by a 792W amplifier and a Quantum Logic Surround Sound digital signal processor transform every drive into a private concert. The Voice activated audio controls and Steering wheel mounted audio controls allow you to manage your environment while keeping your focus entirely on the road ahead.

The driver is treated to a 10-way directional control seat with 4-way power lumbar and a manual cushion extension, while both the driver and front passenger enjoy Heated and Ventilated Front Bucket Seats. The second row isn't left behind, offering Heated rear seats and Manual reclining second-row bucket seats with their own armrests.

The Touring 7-Passenger layout provides a spacious Third-row bench seat that can be manually folded into the floor when you need extra room for groceries or sports equipment. Climate comfort is a priority with Tri-zone automatic climate control, featuring a Rear climate control system with separate controls and Rear headliner/pillar climate control ducts. On bright days, the Power moonroof fills the cabin with natural light, while Manual rear side window sunblinds keep the kids cool.

Safety & Driver Assistance

Safety is at the core of the Subaru brand, and this Ascent is equipped with a comprehensive suite of protective technologies. The EyeSight Adaptive Cruise Control and EyeSight Lane Keep Assist work together to reduce driver fatigue on the highway. For tighter maneuvers, the Panoramic View Monitor provides an aerial view camera and a rear camera with a dedicated washer, ensuring you have a clear perspective of your surroundings.

The vehicle is prepared for the unexpected with EyeSight Pre-Collision Braking for forward collision mitigation and Reverse Automatic Braking to help prevent accidents while backing up. Blind Spot Detection (BSD) and Following distance alert provide constant vigilance, while the DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System (DMS) ensures the driver remains attentive. With 7 airbags, including a Driver side knee airbag and Curtain first, second and third-row overhead airbags, every passenger is protected by a multi-layered safety shield.

Exterior & Design

The exterior of this Ascent is finished in a sophisticated Crystal White Pearl paint that catches the light beautifully. It sits proudly on 20 x 7.5-inch machined aluminum wheels with painted accents, giving it a commanding stance. Functional design elements include Roof rails for extra cargo versatility and a Rear lip spoiler for a touch of athletic flair.

Visibility is paramount, and the Ascent delivers with Directionally adaptive LED headlights that peer around corners and High Beam Assist (HBA) that automatically adjusts to oncoming traffic. The LED front fog lights and LED daytime running lights ensure you are seen in all conditions. Convenience is built into the exterior with Auto-Dimming Exterior Mirrors with Approach Light and a Power liftgate rear cargo door that makes loading and unloading simple, even when your hands are full.
